Caterpillars


We have got three caterpillars in our classroom.

We have been interested in watching them eat the leaves on the swan plants.  We have noticed they eat a LOT of leaves every day and the caterpillars get very big very quickly!

Today when we arrived at school Mrs Pelham noticed one caterpillar was MISSING!!
Amelia had a hunt and found it hanging in a 'j' shape on Finn's mobilor creation.  What a surprise!

We moved it to our whiteboard so we can watch it closely.

We predict that it will change into a chrysalis very soon.

Bryn thinks it will change just before we go home today.
Cillian thinks it will change in three days.
Miles thinks it will change tomorrow.
Bina thinks it will change after lunch today.
Hayden thinks it will change tomorrow.
Tiann thinks it will change just before lunch today.
Grace thinks it will happen before we go home today.
Elenoa thinks it will change at swimming time.
Fatai thinks it will change at swimming time.
Emma thinks it will change tomorrow.
Riley thinks it will change just before lunch.
Briannah thinks it will change tomorrow.
Charlotte thinks it will change after lunch time today.
Israa thinks it will change tomorrow at playtime.
Nethasa thinks it will change after hometime today.
Ava thinks it will change tonight while we are sleeping.



we have learned what prediction means now we will wait to see who's prediction is closest!

  1. How exciting to be watching something so interesting happening in your very own classroom - what a lucky class you are room 16!
    I can't wait to see the beautiful butterfly it will turn into. Maryanne
